2. The license shall be posted at all times in a conspicuous place in the principal place
of business of the licensee. Upon the issuance of a license, a pocket card of such size, design,
and content as determined by the division shall be issued without charge to each licensee. Such
card shall be evidence that the licensee is licensed under sections 324.1100 to 324.1148. When
any person to whom a card is issued terminates such person's position, office, or association with
the licensee, the card shall be surrendered to the licensee and within five days thereafter shall be

the licensee's employees as may be prescribed by the board [of private investigator examiners].

investigator agency without including their [state private investigator or private investigator]individual or agency license number in the advertisement. A licensee shall not advertise or
conduct business from any Missouri address other than that shown on the records of the board
as the licensee's principal place of business unless the licensee has received an additional agency
license for such location after compliance with the provisions of sections 324.1100 to 324.1148
and such additional requirements necessary for the protection of the public as the board may
prescribe by regulation. A licensee shall notify the board in writing within ten days after closing

by the board.

324.1134. 1. The board may suspend or refuse to issue or renew any certificate of
registration or authority, permit or license required under sections 324.1100 to 324.1148 for one
or any combination of causes stated in subsection 2 of this section. The board shall notify the
applicant in writing of the reasons for the suspension or refusal and shall advise the applicant of
the applicant's right to file a complaint with the administrative hearing commission as provided
by chapter 621. As an alternative to a refusal to issue or renew any certificate, registration or
authority, the board may, at its discretion, issue a license which is subject to probation, restriction
or limitation to an applicant for licensure for any one or any combination of causes stated in
subsection 2 of this section. The board's order of probation, limitation or restriction shall contain
a statement of the discipline imposed, the basis therefor, the date such action shall become
effective, and a statement that the applicant has thirty days to request in writing a hearing before
the administrative hearing commission. If the board issues a probationary, limited or restricted

commission as provided by chapter 621 against any holder of any certificate of registration or
authority, permit or license required by [this chapter]sections 324.1100 to 324.1148 or any

law enforcement officer, fire safety officer, or employee of the United States of America, or of

order or injunction in the course of business as a licensee;

(7) Using any letterhead, advertisement, or other printed matter, or in any manner
whatever represented that such person is an instrumentality of the federal government, a state,
or any political subdivision thereof;

advertisement, solicitation, or contract for business;

or any lawful rule or regulation adopted pursuant to the authority granted in this chapter; or

(10) Committing any act which is grounds for denial of an application for a license under
section 324.1112.

3. The record of conviction, or a certified copy thereof, shall be conclusive evidence of
such conviction, and a plea or verdict of guilty is deemed to be a conviction within the meaning
thereof.

4. The agency may continue under the direction of another employee if the licensee's
license is suspended or revoked by the board. The board shall establish a time frame in which
the agency shall identify an acceptable person who is qualified to assume control of the agency,
as required by the board.

5. After the filing of a complaint before the administrative hearing commission, the
proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of chapter 621. Upon a finding
by the administrative hearing commission that the grounds in subsection 1 of this section for
disciplinary action are met, the board may singly or in combination censure or place the person
named in the complaint on probation under such terms and conditions as the board deems
appropriate for a period not to exceed five years, may suspend for a period not to exceed three
years, or revoke the license.

to the licensee's employees as may be prescribed by the board of private investigator examiners.
Such licensee shall file with the board the complete address of the location of the licensee's

business transactions of such investigator or investigator agency for a period of seven years.
Upon the service of a court order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or upon the service
of a subpoena issued by the board that is based on a complaint supported by oath or affirmation,
which particularly describes the records and reports, any [licensed private investigator]licensee
who is the owner, partner, director, corporate officer, or custodian of business records shall
provide an opportunity for the inspection of the same and to inspect reports made. Any
information obtained by the board shall be kept confidential, except as may be necessary to
commence and prosecute any legal proceedings. The board shall not personally enter a licensee's
place of business to inspect records, but shall utilize an employee of the division of professional
registration to act as a gatherer of information and facts to present to the board regarding any
complaint or inspection under investigation.

books, records, or papers which the board deems relevant to the inquiry. The board also may
administer an oath to and take the testimony of any person, or cause such person's deposition to
be taken, except that any applicant or licensee or officer, director, partner, or associate thereof
shall not be entitled to any fees or mileage. A subpoena issued under this section shall be
governed by the Missouri rules of civil procedure and shall comply with any confidentiality
standards or legal limitations imposed by privacy or open records acts, fair credit reporting acts,
polygraph acts, driver privacy protection acts, judicially recognized privileged communications,
and the bill of rights of both the United States and Missouri Constitutions. Any person duly
subpoenaed who fails to obey such subpoena without reasonable cause, or without such cause
refuses to be examined or to answer any legal or pertinent question as to the character or
qualification of such applicant or licensee or such applicant's alleged unlawful or deceptive
practices or methods, shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor. The testimony of witnesses in
any investigative proceeding shall be under oath.

[4.]3. Any licensee who is required by fully executed written contract or court order to
destroy, seal, or return to a party to a lawsuit, or to the court, records related to work performed
under that contract or court order shall maintain in his or her files a fully executed copy of the
contract or court order requiring destruction, sealing, or return of the records. Maintenance of
the contract or court order shall fulfill the requirements of this section.

complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section
536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the
general assembly under chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and
annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and
any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2007, shall be invalid and void.

324.1144. The board may negotiate and enter into reciprocal agreements with
appropriate officials in other states to permit licensed private [investigator]investigators, fire
investigators, private investigator agencies, and private fire investigator agencies [and
licensed private investigators] who meet or exceed the qualifications established in sections

justify and warrant the opening of the bank therein and whether the probable volume of business
at the new location is sufficient to ensure and maintain the solvency of the bank and the solvency
of the then existing banks and trust companies at the location, without endangering the safety of
any bank or trust company in the locality as a place of deposit of public and private moneys, and,
if the director, as a result of the examination, be not satisfied in the particulars mentioned or
either of them, he or she may refuse to issue the certificate applied for, in which event he or she
shall forthwith give notice of his or her refusal to the bank applying for the certificate, which if
it so desires may, within ten days thereafter, appeal from the refusal to the state banking and

approval of the petition in writing to the secretary of state and deliver to the secretary of state the
incorporation fee and [two copies]one copy of the articles of incorporation. From the time of

with the highest prevailing tuition cost for the number of credit hours covered by

[166.228. 1. An advance tuition payment contract shall not authorize
termination of the contract except when one of the following occurs:

(1) The qualified beneficiary dies;

(2) The qualified beneficiary is not admitted to a state institution of
higher education after making proper application;

(3) The qualified beneficiary certifies to the trust, after attaining the age
of eighteen, that he or she has decided not to attend a state institution of higher
education and requests, in writing that the advance tuition payment contract be
terminated;

(4) Other circumstances, determined by the trust and set forth in the
advance tuition payment contract, occur.

2. An advance tuition payment contract may provide for a refund
pursuant to this section to a person to whom the refund is payable under the
contract upon termination of the contract. The refund may include all or a
portion of the payment or payments made by the purchaser under the contract and

payments. However, except as provided in subsection 4 of this section, the
amount of a refund shall not exceed the prevailing tuition cost on the date of
termination for the credit hours covered by the state institution of higher
education which charges the lowest rate of tuition. The amount of a refund shall
be reduced by the amount transferred to a community college on behalf of a
qualified beneficiary when the contract is terminated and by the amount
transferred to a state institution of higher education on behalf of a qualified
beneficiary. Termination of a contract and the right to receive a refund shall not

college.

entitled under the advance tuition payment contract to terminate the contract, to
direct payment of the refund to an independent degree-granting college or
university in this state. If directed to make payments pursuant to this subsection,
the trust shall transfer to the designated institution an amount equal to the tuition
due for the qualified beneficiary, but the trust shall not transfer a cumulative
amount greater than the refund to which the person is entitled. If the refund
exceeds the total amount of transfers directed to the designated institution, the
excess shall be returned to the person to whom the refund is otherwise payable.

4. The amount of a refund paid upon termination of the advance tuition
payment contract by a person who directs the trust pursuant to subsection 3 of
this section to transfer the refund to an independent degree-granting college or
university located in this state shall not be greater than the weighted average
tuition cost of state institutions of higher education for the number of credit hours
covered by the contract on the date of termination.]

[166.231. An advance tuition payment contract shall not be entered by
the trust until the trust has solicited answers from the United States Internal
Revenue Service and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
rulings regarding the status of the trust. The trust shall inform purchasers of the
rulings in question by these federal agencies prior to entering any such contract.]

[166.233. State institutions of higher education, purchasers, qualified
beneficiaries, holders of notes or bonds of the trust and others may enforce the
provisions of sections 166.200 to 166.242, sections 173.053 and 173.262 and any
contract, note or bond entered into pursuant to the provisions of sections 166.200
to 166.242, sections 173.053 and 173.262 by appropriate action brought in the
circuit court of Cole County.]

[166.235. The trust, in its discretion, may contract with others, public or
private, for the provision of all or a portion of the services necessary for the
management and operation of the trust.]

173.262 or in any advance tuition payment contract entered into pursuant to
sections 166.200 to 166.242, sections 173.053 and 173.262 shall be construed as
a promise or guarantee by the trust or the state of Missouri that a person will be
admitted to a state institution of higher education or to a particular state
institution of higher education, will be allowed to continue to attend a state
institution of higher education after having been admitted, or will be graduated
from a state institution of higher education.]

[166.240. An advance tuition payment contract is not a security subject
to regulation by the state as such under the provisions of chapter 409. An
advance tuition contract may not be sold or otherwise transferred by the
purchaser or qualified beneficiary without the prior approval of the trust, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.]

[166.242. The state or any state agency, county, municipality, or other
political subdivision may, by contract or collective bargaining agreement, agree
with any employee to remit payments toward advance payment contracts through
payroll deductions made by the appropriate officer or officers of the state. Such
payments shall be held and administered in accordance with the provisions of
